Commander X16

Several of us have suggested just that. I suggest popping in to the Discord and making your thoughts known to David in the hardware channel. I might have to do the same. Which is a pain because I’ve been diligently avoiding discord. Honestly I’d tell him to nix the console version as planned and ju...

Don't worry if it doesn't run on other people's machines?? The problem is that we were promised more than just a hobby machine. I remember David talking about wanting to create a decent sized commercial ecosystem for cartridge games on the console version. That's what interests me. I'd LOVE to write...

I agree. My development for the X16 has come to a dead stop while I wait for this uncertainty to end. The whole joy and purpose of these types of systems is that they're all the same. Now we've got the possibility of incompatible system software versions and even different CPUs with different instru...

Perhaps consider using gopher as the protocol. The gopher ecosystem doesn't use encryption algorithms and has quite a bit of content.

Is there a modern computer project with a RISC-V chip, and a simple graphics, and audio systems rather like the X16 (though, obviously, much more powerful). I'm thinking that the best computer for recreating Commodore's magic isn't a computer that seeks to emulate the experience of 80s or early 90s ...

Do we have any information about what comes next after batch 2 is complete?

Is it going to be batch 3? Or batch 1 of a console design?

Do we know when they're going to be moving from discrete batches to continuous production and general availability?

I'm wondering if it might be possible, at some time in the future, for the X16 team to make a laptop version of the X16 powered by AA batteries like the similar models of the 80s. It seems to me that it should be possible to do so, especially with the gen 3 model. I think it'd be a grand thing. Mayb...

I think the X16 using the 16-bit chip is the right choice, and that the team should have stuck with the 65816. If they make the change now then it ought to be total; no more 65C02, just the 65816, so we have compatibility across the ecosystem. It is rather unprofessional that the X16 team is going b...

The reminder was not directed at any particular person. You don't have to agree to the rules for them to be enforceable. One doesn't have to agree to the speed limit but the officer will still stop and possibly arrest you for going 30 over. I've provided the reminder, folks can absolutely continue ...

I get the impression that some of the folks, particularly those that seem to have only a few posts under their belt, are here to otherwise be negative and poop on the pizza as it were. I'd like to remind folks of the rules: https://cx16forum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=6266 The rules don't mean you c...
